About This Item
Since it's foundation in 1989, the InchRichard Strauss DaysInch in Garmisch-Partenkirchen have changed in many ways. What has remained unchanged, however, is the special atmosphere of Strauss' adopted home in Southern Bavaria, where the composer not only spent around 40 years of his life, but also created a large portion of his works. Creating an authentic artistic atmosphere with a Inchworkshop characterInch, enabling the audience to enjoy Strauss' works at the place of his inspiration - surrounded by the natural Alpine landscape - is not only the aim of this festival, but also a unique feature of it. To mark the 75th anniversary of Richard Strauss' death, the InchRichard Strauss DaysInch have started a new edition in cooperation with Gramola to document the festival in live recordings. Remy Ballot, Conductor in Residence since 2023, presented the tone poems InchDon JuanInch and InchEin HeldenlebenInch with the Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra in 2024 as a brilliant first chapter of this edition.
